Deep down

You’re really shallow

The change

Is tiering

Have hope

For you to despair

Fall into a pit

Of light to dark

You came back

For you to disappear

You have nothing to hide

But nothing to find

Find yourself

Sink lower into your hole

You finally saw the world

For the first time

For you to finally close your eyes...

your tongue whispers your grand fate

its not your fault you look upon yourself haste

continue to look around for someone at fault

someone else to blame for your pain,

wondering your solutions give you headaches

nobody would understand what you’re

trying to state anyway

have you done this to yourself

all that stands in the room is you

though theres evil into your eyes

all day and every night

...

To be alive is to be dead, which fills me with dread,

To be high is to have hit a low, farther than you can go,

Lies the very cold embrace, of nothingness is great,

Or so I am told.

Yet heart in my hands, here I will stand,

With nothing to find, and nothing to hide,

And everything is light, but nothing is right,

And it just makes me want to cry....

The more you try to hold on to love,

The more likely it is to slip away…

I learned this the hard way.

I tried to hold on,

But you pushed me away.

You slipped away from me,

You said you never loved me,

You said I wasn’t good enough,

And yet,

I still tried to hold on.

I tried to prove you wrong,

Day in, day out,

But I still failed

Without a doubt.

Even with my

Efforts,

I still wasn’t good enoug...

Deep down, you’re really shallow

Touch the ocean floor, and still breathe air

By protecting me, you’re free

Your bold moves are really weathered fair...

Deep down, you’re really shallow

You act like you care but turn the other way

We act like less is more

But we can never have enough

We think our thoughts are invincible

But the only constant is change...

I have learned a lot in my life

Like how you have to put up with

All the animals swimming in me

And I have to cause hurricanes

And tsunamis when I really don’t want to

That causes people to hate me

They despise of me, leak oil into me

And hurt what I love, they fin sharks

They overfish and they killed some

Just for fun and I met many who I hated

Storms would brew and I killed people

I watched th...

Deep down, you’re really shallow.

Everything inside you screams hate

Yet every glance you give me is filled with love.

Your tongue whispers of our grand fate,

But your fingers begin to lace

Closing down on my throat.

What is it about me you love so much?

Whisper in my ear dear,

For I can play this game too.

You, my darling,

Are just the bait

All that you fear is coming near.

Are you eager to beg...

Deep down, you’re really shallow.

They say that crushes are like fireworks:

Beautiful to watch but only lasting moments.

I tried to prolong you, grasping your components-

Futile.

Like a candle’s last breath, the falling tallow,

Like a rising fireworks expression, the vibrant hallow,

Deep down, you’re really shallow.

It’s funny how the mind makes full course meals out of breadcrumbs:

An occasi...

Deep down, you're really shallow,

A truth that cuts like knives.

In depths of introspection,

We find our surface lives.

Layers peeled reveal no core,

Just masks we thought were real.

The more we seek to know ourselves,

The less there is to feel.

We dive into our psyche's sea,

Expecting hidden treasure.

But find that in complexity,

Simplicity's the measure.

The wisest know they nothing know,

A p...
